If These Sheets Were States
"I've got your picture, I'm coming with you, dear Maria, count me in. There's a story at the bottom of this bottle..."
At the end of our last song of the set, Dear Maria, I jogged off stage and dumped some water over my head. This was the last show of the tour in our hometown of Baltimore and I worked my ass off more than usual to make it a great show.
A tall, lanky, 24-year-old man in the body and mentality of an 8-year-old who goes by the name of Jack Bassam Barakat came up behind me and wrapped his long, skinny arms around my waist, setting his chin on my left shoulder. "You did amazing tonight, as usual," he whispered, biting my earlobe softly.
"And your guitar playing sucked, as usual," I teased, spinning around to face the younger boy and reaching up to wrap my arms around his neck. "Hey, can we turn Jack's guitar down a little more in the speakers next time?" I yelled to the crew, and everyone laughed, causing Jack to form the most adorable pout I've ever seen on his lips.
Speaking of lips, Jack and I were just staring in each other's eyes smiling afterwards, causing me to lean up and kiss him softly, and Jack kissed me back harder. "Dressing room," he murmered against my lips, and after untangling ourselves from each other, I grabbed Jack's wrist and we ran to the room that, of course, Matt decided he was going to label "Jalex."
"Matt ships us," we giggled as Jack shut the door and slammed my back against it. "I'm leaving for Lebanon tomorrow," he reminded me before attacking my neck with his lips and pinning me against the door. "I won't be seeing you for a month."
"I'll just need to give you something to remember me by, won't I?" I smirked, wiggling out of his grasp and pushing him down onto the couch.

Just boarded the plane, I miss you already :(

Aw baby, I'll be counting down the days until you return
From: Barakitten <3
What am I going to do without you?
From: AlexANDER Gayskarth:
I don't know, I'm laying in our bed and your side is cold and empty, I don't like it :(
From: Barakitten
Baz can keep you company, though! Don't worry, a month will be over before you know it, and I'll be back. I have to go now since the plane is taking off, but I'll call you as soon as we land :) Love you <3
I smiled to myself, putting my cell phone down on the bedside table and calling Baz up on the bed to lay next to me. The small dog curled up on Jack's empty pillow, and the sight of that made me sad. Snapping a picture, I tweeted it to him to make sure all of the fans could see it.
After tons of replies, I decided to take another picture of Baz, but I had myself in it this time.
@AlexAllTimeLow: @JackAllTimeLow looks like I'll just have to kiss Baz while you're gone :(
Jack replied about thirty minutes later; I was guessing the plane was up in the air and the wifi on the plane was on.
@JackAllTimeLow: @AlexAllTimeLow Jealous!! I bet he's not as good of a kisser as me though ;)
@AlexAllTimeLow: @JackAllTimeLow: oh trust me, you definitely are better
@JackAllTimeLow: Now seems like a good time to reveal this old picture of @AlexAllTimeLow
@AlexAllTimeLow: @JackAllTimeLow I hate you sometimes
@JackAllTimeLow: @AlexAllTimeLow oh shut up, you love me
Alex just laughed at all of the "OMG JALEX!" replies they were getting, and decided that that was enough ovarie bursting for one day.
It was fifteen days into Jack's vacation when Alex realized just how much he really missed Jack. He didn't like sleeping alone. Jack was always there to cuddle and talk to, and Alex wasn't used to not having Jack around. Taking out his song notebook, he began to write a song about it. After the song was over, Alex turned on his computer and grabbed his guitar, ready to record the new song.
This bed's an island made of feather down, and I'm stuck here alone
Little else but memories of you on memory foam
Visions of a brighter love
I'd kill for one more day
To pool my thoughts and find the words to say
If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away
I'd fold them end-over-end to bring you closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me
I've settled for long-distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
Lost in empty pillow talk again
This room's become a mausoleum, filled with relics of regret
Paying dues to every moment wasted on words left unsaid
Collisions of a finer love, I'd kill for one more way
To show you how you make me better every day
If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away
I'd fold them end-over-end to bring you to closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me
I settled for long-distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
Lost in empty pillow talk again
Lost in empty pillow talk again
If these sheets were the states, and you were miles away
I'd fold them end-over-end to bring you to closer to me
Because I don't sleep at all without you pressed up against me

I'm lost in empty pillow talk
I settled for long-distance calls
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
I'm lost in empty pillow talk again
After editing the video and putting it on YouTube, I tweeted the link to Jack so he could listen to the song. About ten minutes after I sent the tweet, I got a call from Jack.
"Hello?"
"Alex, that was the most beautiful song ever. I love you, so, so much."
